What a weekend it's been so far for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Steeler Nation. 2021 Hall of Fame weekend in Canton, Ohio is upon us, and because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony was postponed -- leaving the door open for that class to participate in the 2021 ceremony along with this year's inductees as well. For those of yinz who need a refresher, 2020's inductees included DB Donnie Shell, S Troy Polamalu, and head coach, Bill Cowher, while 2021's inductees include OG Alan Faneca, and scout Bill Nunn.
Following an extremely encouraging victory over the Dallas Cowboys in the Hall of Fame Game on Thursday night, we got to see the Hall of Fame inductees receive their gold jackets on Friday night. In attendance for this special moment was coach Cowher, Faneca, and Shell. Check out some of these awesome moments below!

The weekend only continues to get better. Saturday morning is the Grand Parade in Downtown Canton. It was amazing to see the Nunn family showing their support in honor of the late great scout.

Steeler Nation was also beyond thrilled to finally see the appearance of S Troy Polamalu. He revealed via Twitter on July 3oth that he tested positive for COVID-19, but has since been cleared to participate in the parade today! Check him out:
